Pitch Count Rules

The required rest is full calendar days, not 24 hour period of time.




Here are a few examples how the pitch count works:

Johnny pitches Saturday.  His pitch count is 36
This will require 1 full calendar day's rest. Sunday will be his rest day and he will be eligible to pitch on Monday

Bobby pitches Wednesday - His pitch count is 52.  This will require 3 full calendar day's rest.  Thursday, Friday, & Saturday will be his rest days.  He will be eligible to pitch on Sunday.

Billy pitches Friday - His pitch count is 67 -  this will require 4 full calendar day's rest.  Saturday, Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday will be his rest days.  He will be eligible to pitch on Wednesday.

Steve pitches Monday - his pitch count is 35 -  this requires no days rest and he is eligible to pitch Tuesday.
